What:

• The BIKES Club picnic for members only is back!
• Let’s celebrate bike riding with an outdoor picnic. 
• There will be pre-picnic rides too for various paces groups. 
• The format has changed from a bring-your-own lunch to a more traditional potluck.
• There is the option to participate in the celebrating and socializing in a self-contained manner while not participating in the potluck.
• Let’s respect the concerns some may have regarding social distancing.
• Update for July 11th: Members may bring a guest as long as the member is registered and Elaine (scott.elaine.m@frontier.com) has been notified of food choices for both.
